ABSTRACT:
A storage appliance for use with tubing, pipes and similar items. A generally U-shaped member carries a peg at a distal end of each of its legs and a coupling device at their proximal end. The pegs have a first portion of a generally circular cross section and taper to a rounded point at one terminus. The coupling device has an aperture of the same general cross section as the peg first portion. A storage rack is assembled from the appliances by inserting the pegs of one appliance into the coupling devices of another, the number of appliances used being dependent upon the particular storage requirement. The distal ends of the legs of each appliance are made flat to provide a mating surface for an appliance placed thereon while the tapered pegs allow a cooperation between the pegs of one appliance and the coupling device of another even when the legs of the peg-carrying appliance are spread due to loading or otherwise. The circular cross section of the pegs allow an empty appliance to be pivoted about one of the pegs to fully expose the items stored in the appliance immediately below. The pivoted appliance may be thus stored on the storage rack until it is needed. Further, a storage rack assembled from the appliances of the present invention allows a compartmentalized inventory control.
